A little something to look at that isn’t in the major news. I was drinking my coffee and decided to upload a few more. Once I get caught up at work I’ll put an album up.

Iditarod Comes to Galena
Iditarod and other news Of course we all know what is dominating the news cycle lately. Not going to perpetuate that issue. I’ve been continuing with my run training. I still kind of have a hard time getting out and running at -30F but I’ll get there. Lynn and I had to cancel our trip… Continue reading Iditarod Comes to Galena

Moose in the mirror
Lots more snow lately. Even the moose have taken to walking in trails and driveways, (can’t really blame them), instead of breaking trail just to get to food. Lynn was backing into our driveway this afternoon and had to wait while this moose calf finished trimming the brush beside our driveway. Last night as I… Continue reading Moose in the mirror
Another chilly day
Snowball and I decided to try and get some of our chores done inside today. Temps outside were indicating right at -50F on the outside thermometer. I needed to catch up on some updates to this blog, mostly updating some older code and such. As you can see, Snowball was so excited to watch she… Continue reading Another chilly day

Forty-one years ago, a now defunct newspaper – the Anchorage Times – declared the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race was created to “commemorate the historic trip made by 25 mushers to deliver serum to diphtheria-stricken Nome.” The claim was fake news before there was fake news, but it lives on to this day. via No it… Continue reading No it didn’t — Craig Medred
Mock swim meet and another moose picture
Another week of big temperature swings. A couple of my morning runs were done under an active aurora. Its really nice to look at but for some reason I forget to bring my camera and a tripod on my early morning runs, can’t imagine why. I thought maybe the clear weather would continue through the… Continue reading Mock swim meet and another moose picture
More running, some moose pictures and a recipe
I know I didn’t post last week, Lynn and I had gone to the pool workout room to finish out the weeks training, and when we got back home we had lost our satellite connection due to some heavy cloud cover. Not that uncommon, I didn’t feel like getting up a couple of hours early… Continue reading More running, some moose pictures and a recipe
Unmistakeable signs of the first real cold snap
We listen to the weather forecasts but you never know how accurate they are. We knew it was finally going to get winter here and of course we’ve seen this before. Lynn and I live in a cabin, cabins are great but they are not nearly as well insulated as some of the more modern… Continue reading Unmistakeable signs of the first real cold snap
